At the small square outside St . Reid Hospital, a thick layer of mist appeared suddenly and spread around .
The bright street lamps turned misty and dimmed, making the place look dark .
Even though bright lights were lit up high outside the hospital's lawn, it looked like a night lamp with low energy . It couldn't shed any effective light over the area .
The people inside the hospital didn't notice the commotion going on outside, everyone was minding their own business .
Even when a group of weird men with long robes equipped with swords at their waist passed by the doctors and nurses, no one seemed to notice .
Three of the men from the group walked straight out of the hospital building and the remaining two kneeled before the [Sister Reid Statue], praying softly .
The lively statue suddenly lit up with a buzz under the prayers, glimmering with an inch thick of radiance .
A power beyond regular commoner's understanding was granted to the other three who walked out instantly .
Simultaneously, the auras of the three started to skyrocket .
"Tsss!"
Kieran gasped when he saw the scene from the shadows .
After he noticed the unusual explosion, he dashed out his ward and reached outside the hospital slightly later than the five men . He was just in time to witness all the prayers and status buffs, it shook Kieran .
If those three men were slightly stronger than regular commoners before and on par with elite soldiers in the army, after the buffs, the three men had exceeded the regular person's body limit and became similar to the level of a professional fighter .
A simpler example was, a player that had all his stats lingered around E rank and was suddenly boosted up to C rank .
It wasn't just the leap of rankings but a complete change in terms of qualitative properties .
"Did they used some secret spell to initiate the statue's power?"
Kieran calmed down quickly as his gaze towards the [Sister Reid Statue] turned odd .
From the description of the [Sister Reid Statue], there wasn't an attribute about "Blessing" or anything similar yet the scene before his eyes…
Killing the hen in favor of the eggs
The sudden thought occurred to Kieran . His odd gaze turned even stranger as he watched the scene .
Every special item has its own power, even the lowest tier of Magic rank item was no exception . However, such power wasn't limitless, not even Legendary items could be exempted from the rule .
That was why the skill cooldown was implemented .
[Mystical Knowledge] did introduce the methods of utilizing overload spells, causing magical items to perform far better than its original state but the cost was the destruction of the item itself .
Although there wasn't a solid introduction of the method, based on how the men absorbed the power from the statue that exceeded the statue power's limit was certainly a way on the list of overload spells .
"They ignored the statue itself… Or do they have other ways to repair it?"
Kieran's doubtful character made him think about how the white-haired elder addressed Sister Reid as Saint . Yet now the men which were obviously from the same side extracted the statue's power on their own .
It spurred even more doubts in Kieran's heart because the way they absorbed the power couldn't be considered as respectful .
It would be more forgivable if they had a method to repair it later but what if they didn't…
Kieran's sharp sense picked up another ten plus similar presences to the five men inside the hospital . His mouth corner then lifted up with a cold smile .
However, how could he tell the five men before his eyes and the ten additional presences were on the same side with the white-haired elder from before?
Similar presence couldn't prove as much but a symbol that was hidden inside their outfit could .
There was a special decorative pattern at the interior of their sleeves . It wasn't something that could be easily forged because of the faint mystical feeling from it, it was evident that it belonged to a magical origin .
Chang Chang Chang!
Swords were drawn out from their sheaths .
The three men who walked out of the hospital stood in formation and waited for the arrival of their enemy with their swords out .
The mist on the other side was rumbling restlessly as well .
Both sides were on the verge of a fierce battle, Kieran did not want to be a busybody .
He remained in the shadows and looked at the thick mist outside the hospital with deep concentration .
Even with a decreased S+ Intuition, together with [Tracking]'s vision, it was enough for Kieran to easily spot the countless wandering formless souls, poltergeists and evil spirits that were hiding inside the mist .
Still, those were not the things that concerned Kieran the most .
With the [Sister Reid Statue] inside the hospital, despite its power being drawn out, as long as the statue didn't crumble, none of those dead souls could enter the perimeter .
Therefore, the thing that concerned Kieran the most was the person who was controlling the group of souls .
